But it sounds like you might not need them. :) Then, again, with a new baby coming...<br />I find it hard to put in earplugs when I have a newborn, though. Never know when they actually need you.Netanya Carmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02343705423625113152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299965653079530032.post-19530500090293052722010-12-21T17:56:12.909-08:002010-12-21T17:56:12.909-08:00Ear plugs have never fit into my ears, but I hear ...Ear plugs have never fit into my ears, but I hear you with the selective mommy hearing. Whenever Asher is supposed to be napping (though he usually just plays in there... but a break for me is still a break, so I take what I can get), he'll let out a whimper or a cry. I now know what a real cry (ie when he was still in a crib and his leg would get caught) and a fake cry (pretty much every other cry he gives out during nap time) sounds like. In fact, I don't even notice the fake cries anymore... or maybe he just stopped doing it because he realized it was a waste of time.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844742305066932775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7299965653079530032.post-15775634623279485752010-12-21T17:15:34.414-08:002010-12-21T17:15:34.414-08:00Earplugs have never fit in my ears... but I know w...Earplugs have never fit in my ears... but I know what you mean about the maternal instinct thing. When Asher is supposed to be down for a nap and isn't he will often let out a whimper or cry and I can always tell when it's "real" or not. The "real" cries were when he would get his leg stuck in his crib -- thank God he is loving his new bed! Honestly, I rarely ever even notice the fake cries anymore (though maybe he's just not doing it anymore...). <br />Love the new blog!

But it's because of a snoring husband, not a screaming kid (the earplugs don't block out the screaming kid). I use the little hard foam ones with the orange stripe--i noticed when I started using them (about a year ago), that not only did I sleep better, but it was a happier sleep (less kicking and yelling at my husband) and they prevented me from waking up and needing to pee! An added bonus.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08725119125966556342noreply@blogger.com
